The hatchback looks like a wanna-be Yaris.

Just for your information, the 19 year old Festiva of retroman was manufactured by Kia. The Chevy aveo is a Daewoo whith a chevy sign on it. So both cars are Korean, and I prefer the Kia rio.

id say buy the rio the aveo paint job does’nt stand up.

@cknarf

In case you did not know kia is owned by hyundai, they share common drivetrains between hyundai and kia, so i guess your hyandai preference is purely sheet metal…

i chose the rio because i have one and everyone that drives it wants one and some people say that i have a better car then them. so the rio

Well, since it was not specified whether you were talking about the sedan or the 5 door, (they’re just one picture people) I would go with the Aveo. I would actually go with the Aveo either way. The hatch may not be the best looking thing out there, but at least I won’t have to worry about taking it to the shop every 2 weeks using that 10 year warranty.

I love my 04 Aveo sedan. Its been nothing but good to me. On this level of economically manufactured cars, not on the same level with your Roll-Royces, or Porsches, its good car for the money, and gets great gas mileage. In this day and age with gas aproaching $5/gallon plus, its a welcome break at the pump. I havent been near my 02 Suburban in months. You get what you pay for!!

Kia’s are only economical for the first year then they start going up the poop shoot, what started out as a nice cheap car that looked like a bang for your buck ended up being just a bang and costs you bucks, the stupidest crap starts breaking!! so i guess the terribly appealing Aveo it is

I know this blog is about being practical and economical.
On the economy side, it’s a coin toss. But for me, practically, neither! I don’t feel safe in them. My family and I feel safe in our Chargers. Economy wise, our 07 HEMI, goes about 200 mi with city driving, 400 mi + with freeway driving. My 70 with 318 got 20 MPG freeway. In my book, that’s pretty fair economy for V8′s.
